I'm a wedding photographer based out of South Bend, Indiana.

I believe in always having a vase full of fresh flowers, especially during peony season. That ending a long day should always be on the patio, with a good book and a glass of rosé. And, going to the beach is always a good idea.

Hi, I'm
Katie

Going through the images was a difficult task for me. There were so many moments throughout the day that just screamed elegance, glamour and grace. These are the words I would describe the romance between Mary Cate & Joe. The way they embrace and care about one another really is one that embodies elegance and grace.

They met 4 years ago on the campus of Notre Dame where they both went for their Bachelor’s of Business. Mary Cate had the elegance of Grace Kelly and he was a dapper as the Prince of Monaco. It was only fitting that their wedding be just as much of a fairy tale as their romance.

Marrying in the heart of where they met was taken up a notch by incorporating his Spanish heritage into their wedding mass, which was performed by her uncle. It was a flawless ceremony that was just so beautiful to witness. I’m sure that I can speak for all that were there that is one of the most beautiful wedding ceremonies we’ve attended.

One of my favorite moments from the ceremony at the Basilica of the Sacred Heart.

This was the first time I’ve never seen a kneeler at the alter for Mary. It was such a beautiful moment between Mary Cate & Joe.

Lighting a candle at the Grotto for the first time as husband and wife. I just love the symbolism.
